Content and Language Integrated Learning

"CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focused aims, namely the learning of content, and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language."

CLIL in Co-teaching

“Successful co-teachers problem-solve, critically reflect, and make changes to their classroom on an ongoing basis as a way to continually improve their skills, meet students’ needs, and provide the best inclusive education they can create for their students.”

The Educator’s Handbook for Inclusive School Practices

Individual Coaching Sessions

The coaching sessions aim to guide and support the teachers in your school during the practice of CLIL/Pluriliteracies so they can mobilize in their lessons all the skills they have acquired during the training.

Provide each teacher with a flexible and individualized self-study opportunity

Each teacher will be able to choose the area(s) he/she would like to develop

Individual feedback to evaluate if changes made a difference for students

Improve his/her teaching practices

1 individual session (60 min) to have an informal discussion about developmental goal(s) of the CLIL approach.

1 classroom observation (40 min) where I will collect data for the teacher. This method also allows for an extra pair of eyes in the classroom collect the information the teacher needs to see if he/she has achieved his/her goal.

1 individual feedback session (about 45-60 min) to discuss what the teacher learned from the information gathered and to reflect on different strategies he/she could use to improve the areas of the CLIL approach with which he/she is not entirely satisfied (if any).
